Chapter 425 The Silence Before the Storm

In the current ninja world, the only ones that can give enough support to the Iwagakure are Konoha and the Kumogakure.

If they cannot be convinced, even if the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning feel sorry for them and want to support them, it will be of no use.

Because this kind of thing cannot be decided just by the daimyo's consent.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and the Kumogakure are in the same boat. If the Kumogakure does not agree, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning will not nod either.

The Daimyo of the Fire Nation is even more ridiculous. They are extremely dependent on Konoha. As long as Konoha doesn't agree, you are probably dreaming about getting support from the Fire Nation.

"First send people to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to negotiate with them to buy some supplies, and then find a way to deal with the rest."

"Tsuchikage-sama..."

A senior executive stood up and wanted to mention the previous suggestion.

But he was interrupted by Ōnoki:

"No hurry, buy some supplies first, at least to settle the villagers. I have already thought about it and will give you a reasonable explanation."

As soon as these words were spoken, many high-ranking officials of the Iwagakure showed their joy, including the Daimyo of the Land of Earth who hurried to the Iwagakure.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to support the Iwagakure, but the landlord’s family doesn’t have much spare money.

It is extremely difficult to temporarily withdraw some money.

The rest can only be solved by the Iwagakure on their own.

After all, the expenses of Daming Prefecture are not small, and Daming Prefecture is not decided by Daming alone.

All parties are fighting and shirking responsibilities. Never mention money to them, otherwise they will fall out.

Unlike what the outside world imagined, the Iwagakure did not angrily accuse the Akatsuki organization or issue various announcements, but instead launched the rescue efforts in a dull manner and did not even ask for help from other villages.

Something is wrong, it's too quiet.

The reaction of the Iwagakure was a bit unexpected.

Normally, when such a big thing happens, even if other villages really don't need assistance, the Iwagakure should at least do some superficial work.

It’s a pity that the Iwagakure didn’t have that. It was very quiet from beginning to end, doing its own thing and saving its own disasters. It was so quiet that it was a little scary.

Just like the calm before the storm, it seems peaceful, but in fact the terrible storm will soon hit.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in."

Yan collected his thoughts, responded, and sat back in his chair.

"Master Assistant, this is a letter sent from Daming Prefecture."

"give it to me."

Yan took the letter from the Intelligence Department ninja, took a look at it, and found that it had not been opened yet. It was delivered directly to him.

After thinking about it, Yan opened it directly and didn't let anyone deliver the letter to Tsunade.

Yan opened the letter and glanced at the contents, frowning slightly.

The letter was sent from the Daimyofu because the Daimyo of the Land of Earth came to him to negotiate about purchasing a large batch of supplies.

The situation in the ninja world was unstable at the time, and the Fire Country Daimyo did not dare to sell things indiscriminately for fear of aiding the enemy.

So he sent someone to deliver the letter to Konoha as soon as possible.

I want to see what Konoha’s attitude is.

If Konoha had no objection, he would definitely be happy to sell it.

If Konoha refused, he could only choose to refuse because he wanted to make money.

Daimyo is becoming more and more obedient and sensible.

I silently gave the other person a thumbs up.

Yan picked up the letter, walked towards the door, and said to the ninja from the Intelligence Department:

"Thank you for your hard work. Go back first. If you need anything, I will send someone from the Anbu to communicate with you."

"Yes, my lord assists."

The intelligence ninja who delivered the letter left the Hokage's office building.

Yan, holding the envelope, came to the Hokage's office, knocked on the door, opened it and walked in.

In the office, Tsunade, Shizune and Izumi gathered together, chatting happily about shopping.

I saw that the three of them didn't even look back at me, they were just busy chatting.

Yan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Sure enough, as long as they are women, no matter what age group they are, they like to go shopping. These three women of different ages can get together and chat happily.

It feels a bit like some men getting together to drink and bragging about themselves.

Before drinking, there was a huge age gap between us. But after drinking, when we were dizzy, we became brothers and acted like brothers.

"Iwagakure wants to go to the daimyo's mansion to buy a batch of supplies through the daimyo's route. They need a lot, so the daimyo specifically asked us to know the village's position and attitude."

Yan threw the letter on the table in annoyance, interrupting the three people's chat while shopping.

Among the three, Tsunade was the most awkward.

Although she was interested, she didn't have much money.

Silent has a small deposit, but not much.

After all, Tsunade is always watching closely, so only Izumi's small treasury is relatively well-stocked.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you two, but the combined money of the two of you is less than what Izumi has. Don't you think it's a bit redundant to discuss what to buy?"

Yan felt that Tsunade and Shizune were getting too carried away and needed to be cooled down.

"........"

But the speed at which Yan's words cooled down was a bit scary. Tsunade and Shizune froze in place, the smiles on their faces froze, and the two looked at each other tacitly, then showed frustrated expressions.

"Pfft~~~"

Quan on the side burst out laughing.

In fact, the salaries of the Hokage and the Hokage's secretary are still very high.

He is definitely one of the best in Konoha.

But with Tsunade, that spendthrift woman, around, Tsunade and Shizune's wallets can't compare to Izumi's.

One of them is saving more and more, and is showing signs of becoming a wealthy woman, while the other two are becoming poorer and poorer the more they save.

I want to punch you to death. You can choose not to speak!

Tsunade was so angry that she covered her chest with her hands, which made Nako feel painful.

Jingyin's eyes had lost their color. The money she saved was getting less and less, which was something she had not expected.

When I was poor, I could convince myself by saying that I was hiding from people and didn’t make much money.

Now it's over, and I can't find any excuse.

Now that I have paid off my foreign debt, I thought I could save money.

As a result, my wallet never got fatter.

Wuwuwu, it’s all my fault for being too indulgent towards Hokage-sama.

Shizune felt like crying.

I no longer have the mood to go shopping, as I still have things to deal with.

Tsunade opened the letter and read it. Soon she looked up in confusion:

"It's no problem to buy a batch of supplies. Besides, the supplies are purchased from the daimyo's mansion. As long as the daimyo agrees, we will definitely not refuse. But does the Iwagakure still have so much money?"

The Iwagakure is not one of the protagonists of the war. As long as they are not involved in the war, it is reasonable for them to go to the daimyo's mansion to buy things, and Konoha cannot just find an excuse to refuse them.

The biggest question is, does the Iwagakure still have money to buy supplies?

Given the situation in their village, even rescue is a problem.

"I guess it was put together by the daimyofu, but don't you feel something is wrong?"

Yan sat directly on the desk and pointed at the map on the table: "Iwagakure is too quiet."
